I'm here for help

Ah good point, didn't really think about that. I'm also no O/O so I don't really know anyting about running my own show.

I know I'll get crap for this, but I'm considering going with a Werner lease and picking up one of them cheap Freightbangers they sell. I don't have a wife or kids so I can live in the thing if I must.

If my dispatcher tried to starve me out towards the end of my lease, I'll find out where he lives and park in his driveway until he finds me a load. heh.

 

I'll trade you an Airpioneer Flightstar Ultralight for your truck.

 

I think he was being kind of harsh about it. I mean, you're breaking the news to this guy that his truck is useless out of his home port, you'd think you could at least break the news gently, ####.

On a side note, I meant to suggest that he find a local o/o and drive company in someone else's truck for a while, but I can see how I made it sound like I was suggesting he try to o/o straight away, which isn't going to happen, regardless of how nice his truck is.

I've heard that brokers won't even talk to you without some miles logged.

 

That's danc. He doesn't mince words and you know what he's thinking right quick. After a while you learn people's personality and get to know them. He has helped a lot of people here. Sometimes I have to chuckle at his short to the point answers that those who haven't been here a while take offense at.

 

Fair enough, and your right, that sort of bluntness can be refreshing at times.

*Untwists panties*

 

Good man. That was just a test to see how badly you want to truck.

Sounds like you can afford to mod your truck anyway, so that's good.

Why not just drive company for 6 months or so? See if you even like driving that much. It will give you an idea what it would be like anyway.

Either way, I hope you get that truck going eventually. Someday, I'll have my own too.

 

If you skip the truck issue your back at the reality that with no experience it will be next to impossible to get a lease with anyone. The ins company want have it,sorry to burst your bubble but being from MS like Danc we like to think things through even though some people think we talk funny and are not very smart.
